Total Olea pollen (pollen/m3), pollen peak (pollen/m3), pollen peak date (days). Total allergen (ng/m3), allergen peak (ng/m3), allergen peak date (days) and Pollen Allergen Potency (ng/pollen). Number of days with allergy risk periods for pollen and allergen considering the thresholds of allergic risk for the pollen (Moderate 50–200 pollen/m3, High >200 pollen/m3; Galán et al., 2007), the allergens (Moderate 0.015–0.041 ng/m3, High >0.042 ng/m3) and both together.
